The Chara plasma membrane system : an ancestral model for plasma membrane transport in plant cells

Zhang, S. (2018)

Doctoral Thesis

Multicellular giant algae Chara species have been widely used in physiological studies for decades. This study tries to link the physiological phenomena associated to the role of the plant hormone auxin to molecular mechanisms, impelling a more advanced and comprehensive usage of Chara as a model system.
